well done to Kendrick Lee. Boonsak must be hitting the feathers instead of the head.... Looks like there's a new leader in town...
This Hendra/Hendri, they are both tall? 1 short, 1 tall? Thin, not so thin? Both attacking players ? Who's better at the net?
Thinking of a nickname for them that rhymes.
And now I think badminton coaches have to consider using flagpoles for muscle building exercise.![]()
... Hauge, please remember that name because this young local-born Singaporean is going to make heads turn!
I watched his match yesterday and was thoroughly impressed by his skills and mental toughness. Despite being down 19-20 in the second game and all Boonsak had to do was to win one point to force a rubber, Kendrick stood his ground and took back the game and match!
Now this victory is achieved on Thai soil against a superstar Boonsak! What an achievement for Kendrick! Congrats and may you continue to display that kind of a form and fighting spirit against World and Olympic champion, Taufik Hidayat!![]()
They are brothers and they are not tall, average height as Hauge has said maybe around 5' 8".
Do you know that both of them were once sent back to Indonesia because they were found to be unfit. I think one or both of them failed in the long distance test.
But they pledge to return to Singapore to prove their worth. When the elder Hendri Saputra was ready he requested the SBA to take him back and all at once he struck an excellent partnership with Li Yujia in the XD.
Younger brother Hendra Wijaya followed suit later and was tried out in the MD with others but did not make much impact. He was later paired with Hendri and immediately created much excitement when they knocked out Malaysia's second best pair then, LWW/CTF, in the first round of a major tournament (can't remember which). They continued to make reasonable progress.
Now this sibling pair will make news if they can claim the gold medal in this SEA Games. Up against the World Champions, their chance is slim but nothing is impossible! This is one way to repay the SBA for giving them another chance and having faith in them.![]()

Apparently Boonsak was also the flag bearer for Thailand but he was simply no match for Kendrick LEE yesterday.

Is their sister, Sari Sinta Mulia? I forgot to confirm it with them when I met them in Denmark.........
Ah ha, brothers, better still, lots of ideas on them
LOL, thanks, you dont really have to give a full history. Since I've never watch them play, just needed some info to write on them (for fun only).
And yes,they beat CTF/LWW recently, I think one of the GP Gold.
R you familliar with their playing styles? Badmania says they are fast & furious. Who's the aggressor, better at net play? Who's the smasher? They play similar to Indonesia? The vital stats are just general info, info on playing styles more important.
But I'm sure there'll be a video on their game with Kido/Setiawan, so finally I watch them play.
Blood brothers, Mr fast & Mr furious vs the Mighty Mouse & Mighty pillar.
Mouth watering match for sure.
Yes Sari is their younger sister, also in the Singapore Team with Vanessa Neo (local-born) as her regular partner.
Somehow this young WD pair has not made headlines yet. But their chance will come ... hopefully sooner than later.![]()
And...Derek Wong,..Kendrik Lee..,.Vanessa Neo..are locals.... and prove the locals are equally good ..compared to thoes imported..?![]()
Had never seen kendrick lee been on fire on his game before he is playing really superbly well hopefully he can make it today at the finals come morn kendrick do your best will pray for u...

Finally got around to watching that match...
Kendrick's attacking skills at the net have tremendously improved
Also, it's sad to note that Boonsak had more errors than winners![]()
You really have to wave the flag, don't you?Those must be "forced" errors imposed by Kendrick!![]()
